How far would you go to protect your reputation?An ex-football player is savagely murdered. A National Ballet dancer inexplicably commits suicide. The only link between the two deaths is Dr. Roger Peterson, a famous psychiatrist and bestselling author.

Toronto PI Samantha McNamara can’t accept that her childhood friend manipulated the emotionally fragile dancer into committing suicide or that he’s capable of murder. But the victim’s schizophrenic wife is Roger’s lover and patient. And her husband intended to go public with a complaint that would destroy the doctor’s life.

When Sam’s fianc , former police Inspector Reece Hash, receives a troubling suicide letter from the ballerina, they realize that Roger’s unethical conduct could be the symptom of a deeply disturbed mind. Or the doctor has unwittingly become a pawn in a killer’s deadly game. As the pieces slowly fall into place, Sam and Reece are plunged into a terrifying nightmare. To survive, they must outwit a psychopath whose greatest pleasure is the game.

The rules are simple: trust no one, believe nothing, and stay alive.
